Interesting facts about Tesla

Tesla is the world leader in electric cars

Out of all the companies that are wholly dedicated to producing electric vehicles, Tesla is the world’s largest, delivering 908,573 new vehicles in the first 3 quarters of 2022.¹

Tesla’s ‘Sentry Mode’ deters thieves

One of the technologically-advanced features of some Tesla models is ‘Sentry Mode’, which automatically detects suspicious motion around the vehicle. If your Tesla detects a threat, it will react differently depending on how severe it determines the threat to be. You’ll also get an alert on your Tesla app.²

Tesla is named after the inventor Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was an American inventor who registered many patents and is known as the ‘father’ of the alternating current (AC). He is also credited with paving the way for much of the technology we use today.³

Some Teslas are self-parking

Tesla offers a software add-on called ‘Full Self-Driving’ (FSD), which can autonomously park the car. For anyone who’s ever had an ‘argument with a pole’ while parking their car, this special feature could definitely be worth the added cost.⁴
